That is sketchy on so many levels. Like TristramEvans said, I don't know where you live but in California and New York, landlords (or their agents) can't just waltz into your apartment. Tenant law is usually pretty straightforward and easy to research; please do yourself a favor and look up your rights under the law!.For some inexplicable reason, the apartment complex where I live has decided they need to come into every apartment and change all the light bulbs.
It makes me think either "casing the places" or "secretly installing something illegally." Why make it super inefficient by going into the same place multiple times? The only thing I can think of is they're trying to find a time when no one is home. I'd hide your valuables and check the new light bulbs.That is sketchy on so many levels.

There are a few things that don't make sense. If these are legit contractors, management is throwing away a shit ton of money on a nonsensical, inefficient scheme to change lightbulbs. Maybe if it was public/government subsidized housing it would make more sense. This thing is gonna bug me all night until I crack the code!It makes me think either "casing the places" or "secretly installing something illegally."

It's the year of Covid. Everybody is friggin home!It makes me think either "casing the places" or "secretly installing something illegally."

Using the same password on all your accounts is a highway to the danger zone.
I have tried to have this exact conversation, and I always stop because it sounds utterly mad when I hear myself saying it out loud.

I like 1. you did not say "grim dark" and 2. you avoided mentioning "space orks."The trick is trimming that shit way down to its bare essence and conveying it in normal-person imagery.
"It's a really dark comedy about a far future where humans are religious fascists wearing robot armor and fighting horror movie aliens and demons who want to kill us all. It's a board game originally, but they've made a bunch of video games and books too."
That's 46 words, which is about all the average date can take before tuning out. If you're lucky, they'll be cultured enough to get it if you say it's Dune crossed with Doom crossed with Lord of the Rings.

For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, and for whom blood is drunk and flesh eaten. Human blood and human flesh - the stuff of which the Imperium is made.
To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. This is the tales of these times. It is a universe you can live today if you dare - for this is a dark and terrible era where you will find little comfort or hope. If you want to take part in the adventure then prepare yourself now. Forget the power of technology, science and common humanity. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for there is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.
But the universe is a big place and, whatever happens, you will not be missed.
I took it as how you would explain the whole concept to those unfamiliar with any gaming. "Table top wargame" might take a whole other conversation. LOL"board game"? The hell you talkin' bout Willis?

You think? I can see that open for debateI'm not convinced "wargame" is actually as obscure as people on the thread seems to think. It's definitely more widely known than RPGs, and those are practically mainstream these days.

I'd like to hear the pitch from the guy who commissioned this. "I'm certainly not an excellent swordsman, by any means. Perhaps my foes shall keep their distance if they see my blade is also a. . . CROSSBOW?!?! Can you make this a reality, my fine craftsman?"
